My first visit to Head Kandy and it was so good. Lovely friendly staff and a great atmosphere.
Ryan took great care in discussing my hair colour and cut. I was so, so pleased with the end result. The best full head highlights I’ve ever had.

WOW! What an absolutely fantastic experience. Jack was brilliant throughout and I felt very confident letting him colour and style my hair. For the first time in a long time I had something different done to my hair and it’s honestly made me feel amazing. I would definitely recommend a trip to Head Kandy and a visit to Jack.

I've got a bit of phobia about hairdressers, but I was told Headkandy was a nice place and as I was able to book online this made it easier..
I booked the appointment with Lauren and I got Jack. I was not disapointed, he was fab.

Jack made me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked in. He is really friendly and an amazing hairdresser.

Think I have found my forever hairdresser, already booked my next appointment and I'm looking forward to going back. Thank you Jack x

Loved that they have a very welcoming salon, it felt like I had used this salon before, the stylist took on board what I wanted, and gave me exactly what I expected.
